The National Elevation, Hydrography and Land Cover datasets of the United States have been synthesized into a geospatial dataset called NHDPlus which is referenced to a spheroidal Earth, provides geospatial data layers for topography on 30 m rasters, and has vector coverages for catchments and river reaches. In this article, we examine the integration of NHDPlus with the Noah-distributed model....

Soil moisture has a profound influence on life Earth, and this vital water resource varies across space time. Here, we explored soil variations in boreal forest tundra environments, where comprehensive datasets are scarce. We installed sensors up to 14 cm depth at 503 measurement sites within seven study areas northern Europe. recorded 6 138 528 measurements capture of the snowless season from ...

Measurements and models of global geophysical parameters such as potential fields, seismic velocity dynamic topography are well-represented traditional contoured and/or coloured maps. However, teaching aids for public engagement, they offer little impact. Modern 3D printing techniques help to visualise these other concepts that difficult grasp, the intangible structures in deep Earth. We have d...

Abstract This research focuses on the 2D and 3D geospatial analysis of Ryukyu Trench, a deep-sea trench located in western Pacific Ocean between Japan Taiwan. The aim is to visualize regional differences topography southern (S) northern (N) parts trench. Technically, methodology based using Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) scripting toolset, for modelling General Bathymetric Chart Oceans (GEBCO), Ea...

Western Aphrodite Terra, Venus, is characterized by a series of parallel linear structural discontinuities 2000-4000 km in length and 100-200 km wide, which strike at high angles to the general topographic trend of the Aphrodite Terra highlands. The broad characteristics of the cross-strike discontinuities (CSDs) are similar to both strike-slip fault zones and terrestrial oceanic fracture zones...

The Wenchuan earthquake of 12 May 2008 is the most destructive earthquake in China in the past 30 years in terms of property damage and human losses. In order to understand the earthquake process and the geo-morphological factors affecting the seismic hazard, we simulated the strong ground motion caused by the earthquake, incorporating three-dimensional (3D) earth structure, finite-fault ruptur...

Abstract Due to its size and tidal heating, Europa may potentially possess active volcanism hydrothermal circulation at seafloor. The upcoming Clipper mission provides the opportunity obtain global gravity maps over a range of spatial scales, up degree l ≈ 10. We assess ability such measurements determine Europa’s seafloor topography, building on extending previous work in this area. create sui...
